Formerly known as the Jack O’ Lantern, carved pumpkins came from old Irish folk telling tales of Jack, a lazy farmer who used a cross to trap the Devil, and said he would only set it free if it did not take his soul.

Jack’s life had been too sinful for him to go to heaven, but because the Devil had promised not to take his soul, he was also barred from hell, and so he had nowhere to go.

After asking how he would see where to go because he had no light, Jack was given an ember that would never burn out.
